The Ephesus Meeting is especially for North American University, College, and Seminary groups, and is the largest biblical event of this kind in Turkey today.

This is a great opportunity to visit the Seven Churches of the Revelation, sites visited by Paul and other biblical sites mentioned in both Old and New Testaments.

What is it?
The Ephesus Meeting is for Christian Colleges, Universities, Seminaries and Church Groups, as well as individuals. We anticipate the participation of many Christian institutions from all over the world. We would also like to see your institution attending this meeting with your special group. Various groups will have individualized itineraries and they will all come together at the ancient Ephesus Theater on Sunday, May 29, 2005.

The May 29th activities will offer students and professors the opportunity for worship and study. Professors and Church leaders are invited to give lectures or seminars.
